Overview

The rear optical Ethernet ports are used for:
• process bus (IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE) communication
• IEEE C37.118/1344 communication
• substation bus (IEC 61850-8-1) communication

Setting the station communication

To enable IEC 61850 communication, the corresponding ports must be activated. The rear access points
can be used for IEC 61850-8-1 and IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication. IEC 61850-8-1 redundant
communication requires the use of two Ethernet ports, when it is activated for Ethernet port the next
immediate port is selected as the second Ethernet port and will become hidden.
To enable IEC 61850 station communication:
1. Activate IEC 61850-8-1 (substation bus) communication.
Navigate to: Main menu /Configuration/Communication /Station communication/IEC61850–8–
1 /IEC61850–8–1:1
2. Enable operation for Access Point 1 and 3 in the Ethernet configuration tool (ECT) in PCM600.
3. Enable redundant communication for Acess point 1 using ECT.
4. Enable IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE (process bus) communication for Access point 3 by connecting it to
a Merging unit in the Merging units tab in ECT.
There are no settings needed for the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication in the local HMI branch
Station communication . Make sure that the optical fibers are connected correctly. Communication is
enabled whenever the merging unit starts sending data.

Verifying the communication

To verify that the communication is working a test/analyzing tool, for example ITT600, can be used.
Verifying redundant IEC 61850-8-1 communication
Ensure that the IED receives IEC 61850-8-1 data on the selected Ethernet ports. Browse in the local HMI
to Main menu /Diagnostics /Communication /Ethernet status /Access point /APStatusRedundant /
RCHLCCH:1 and check that ChARedStatus and ChBRedStatus are shown as Ok. This is only applicable
if redundant communication is used. Remove the optical connection to one of the Ethernet ports. Verify
that either signal status (depending on which connection that was removed) is shown as Error and the
that other signal is shown as Ok. Be sure to re-connect the removed connection after completed
verification.
